believe that the reason for this

meeting was prompted by any aversion to having either of the ailove-mentioned societies formal- ly admitted to the Students Union, and even more remote is the pos- sibility that the student body has lost interest so soonln the sweat- ers and crests over which they were bickering and battling but a few weeks ago. There remains but one alternative explainatlon for this lethargic cloud that has gripped the wheels of activity in mail a vise-like hold - It must be the weather. There is a saying In certain circles. "third time. lucky". and perhaps now that the lirst two attempts at usterlug a sufficiently large number of stud- ents to constitute a voting quorum have proved unsuccessful. a third rail will not fall on such deaf cars. If nothing else will serve to break the grip of the hibernation habit among the students here at SD.U.. we have reclcved advance notice of something that will. The majority of the calendars posted round and about the campus have been ticked off according to one system or ano"r to indicate the num ber of days separating tile students and faculty alike from the relief of the Easter holi- days. It you should like to make a calculation of your own, our holidays are slated to begin at noon on. Wednesday, March 28. Rowever. a closer look at these calendars will disclose a span of three days that are set off stark- ly from the rest; and in all pro- bability not in A kindly. gentle. or graceful manner, for into these three slots will be poured all the torturous trickery that our staff of professors can find the time and inclination to commit to pop- or. Yes. our next set of examin- atlons is fast upon us, they are scheduled for next Monday. Tues- dlly. and Wednesday, and as you read this account, you can feel quite certain that the majority of us. even the more foolish of the vestsls. are trimming our lam s and squiniin In the light of e often-sung mdnight oil. Thoughts of all the just reasons why Fath- er 50- and -so would be perfectly justified in "leaking his venge- ance with a stiff exam multiply themselves exponentially until the Kloor struggling soul. with remorse his heart for his ast offenses and negligence, finds imself sand- basslna against the mounting flood with all the resolutions for amendment that he can muster. Althou h tllis counteraction will re- turn at to tranquility once more as each text is diligently scrutini- led and then relegated to the stack of the "kills", experience shows that this correction is usually but : it-'ml'I0l' one.

I TOWN SELLS LAND - A spee- lal meeting of the Summerside Town Council on Thursday night accepted the only bid received on tenders offering for sale!)-I0 of an acre of town owned land bounded on two sides by Harvard Street and Town Lane. This land was purch- ased by Canada Packers Ltd.. for 82,500 and will be used, at least for the present, in providing I roadway leading to their fertilizer

The meeting was presided over by Mayor Currie. and all members of the Council were present.

(whom we referred to some time ago) are now busily engaged in a do-or-die effort to make our pro- posed college souvenlr booklet a reality. The wheels of this endeav- or. too, seem to have become some what mired in that between season sluggishness that we referred to above. At this writing, the necess- ary materials for the final com- pilation of the booklet are on their fway here. and the covers bearing the inscription "Memories 1955-56" have been ordered. Meanwhile. the operation here has shifted into high gear In an effort to have all mat- erials in readiness when the page layouts arrive. Just about every Iphoto-source has been t a p p e d. lmany albums rifled, and under the recent barrage of flashbulbs and the nosing around of camera len- ses. It looked for awhile as though :HolIywood had a corner on Saint 'Dunslan's. Now things have taper- ed off pretty well back. to normal and the cameraman have retreated to their musty cellars to perfonn those wierd rites that will produce the necessary pictures for this forthcoming presentation. It will soon be in the hands of the pub- Iisher and then everyone can relax or turn to another project.

If the publisher is able to ful- fill his ss5sEEI'nCllL. the finished booklet. a photographic recount of the year's activities and those who took part In them. should be avail- able just before we all depart for our home soil in May. Since none else seems to have thought of doing it, we would like to take this op- portunity to extend a pat on the back to those laboring on this pro- ject. not as applying the goad, but as extending sincere "Thank you."

Now that spring is with us. ac- cording to the calendar at least. the familiar cry "There's activity in the bull-pen" is once again crackling over the air waves from sunnler cllmes. Here on the cam- pus. the closest that we have been able to come to this sort of sit- uation is taking place behind the Iatice-enclosed "pen". the choir stall. In an effort to usher in the recent changes in the liturgy for Palm Sunday with all the cert.- mony possible. our choir director. Father Lsndrlgan. is now busily leading his charges over the quasi- Ilsgstone path of the Gregorian no- tatlon. drilling the choir in the ex- ecution of the trickier tonal InterU vals. and polishing their style in such a way as to make this forth- coming performance one such as is seldom witnessed here.

Although the task looked insur- mountable at first. frequent pract- ices have lent sufficient familiar- lty with the various pieces so that even should the palm-bearing pro- cession take the group out of the

tentatively planned, there should be encountered in the rendering of the chant. Just as we are all looking forward to witnes- sing the drama of the revised lit- utgy which will bring it more in keeping with the customs of the early Church and with the events which It is intended to cornmornork ate. so too. welook forward with eagerness to witnessing the cholr's rendition of the music prescribed by the Church for the ceIGIII'lTIt::

We are hoping that soon there will be provided a worthy repository for the equipment that has brought so much real enjoyment to so many. The advent of Hi-Fl on the cam- pus has had many effects on the students themselves. and here and there there is evident a certain amount of dissatisfaction with rad-. ios and record players that form-I erly were quite well thought of.
